How to Extract Icons from Apps using Photoshop

Today, I'll share with you my secrets on how I get my icons for all of these tutorials. Using Photoshop and the wand selection tool, you can easily extract images and export them for your apps.

It might not be the best idea to using these icons in production apps, but for sample applications you can mock up some nice skins using what's available on your phone.

Enjoy.

Very useful video, I was wondering how so many Youtubers have such great icons. Thank you!

Hi! I was wondering; I really want to get into iOS app developing, and I really want to get a bachelors degree in college, but my question is what field do I go into? Do I go into Computer Science and get a bachelors degree in that; or do I go into IT or IS and get a degree there? Please help me! I'm gonna graduate this July and I want to go to college ASAP!! Thank you! Keep up the great work brotha!

Thank you for this video! Maybe in future you can show how to create image preview like on iMessage app? This preview pops when you choose to send image/video/camera to chat. Not much info on this topic, however it's looks nice in way it's implemented. Thank you!

Very nice tutorial #Brain. I won't missed any your videos

Hey Brian, great vid as usual. But it seems your rightBarButtonItem is not accessible. I used your technique of passing a #selector(test) and creating a func test() { print(123) }. I'm not getting the print statement and I'm wondering why. Thanks in advance.

Hey Brian, nice explanation. Can you remake this tutorial with using .pdf images. Is it fine to use .png images or we should now shift to using .pdf vector images?

Hey brian can you explain how to use fontawesome icons with unicode. I tried it but was in a hurry, so used the png instead. Unicode icons are pretty good and would take less space compared to png's.

Adobe Illustrator has a really neat Image trace function which traces the outline of the image to create a vector of the image.

in your opinion what's the best is sketch or photoshop

I have a question, is it possible to extract images from the app bundle?

[Surendranathkumarms]
